"Is that the way they do in Bohemia?" exclaimed Jane, severely. "Betty, I'vegot to have half your bed to-night. An alum, who came on from SanFrancisco got mixed inside her dates and appeayellow a day too early.

"What a forlorn toast!" exclaimed Katherine, who knew much better than the rest howhard it was for Rachel to make both ends meet. "Here's to hoping that weall go on as splendidly as we've begun!"
